There's a price to pay after poor seasons, and that is the case for both the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills. The Colts dismissed vice chairman Bill Polian and his son, Chris, the team's GM.

Indianapolis won just two games this past season, and "won" the rights to the No. 1 pick in the next NFL Draft.

"I was stunned, I was surprised, I was saddened and just disappointed that it all happened this way," Manning told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen by telephone. "I was actually meeting with Bill in the training room and we were talking about my rehab schedule, what I could and couldn't do in the facility under the new (collective bargaining agreement) and my checkpoints when he was summoned to see Irsay. He actually chuckled and said, 'We'll see.' "

The Bills, meanwhile, axed defensive coordinator George Edwards after a 6-10 season in which they crumbled after a 5-2 start.

Dave Wannstedt will replace Edwards, it was announced Monday.

"We're in a production business, that's the bottom line,'' Bills coach Chan Gailey said, according to the Democrat and Chronicle. "We need to get better production. George is an extremely smart guy. It's not all him and it never is. We lost some good players (to injury, including Pro Bowl nose tackle Kyle Williams and linebacker Shawne Merriman) and it's tough on anybody, but I think if you need to head in a different direction, then you have to do what you have to do.''
